Personal profile

Research Focus

Research lies in hydrogen and electrochemistry, including front-end hydrogen production technologies, mid-stream storage and transportation, as well as back-end efficient utilization.

Front-end hydrogen production technologies involve electrolysis hydrogen production simulation. Through electrochemical models, investigate the load tolerance fluctuations of hydrogen production systems in alkaline electrolysis cells and proton exchange membrane electrolysis cells. by leveraging lifespan models to optimize system operations.

Mid-stream storage and transportation include electrochemical compression, carbon capture & utilization. I also focus on conducting preliminary research on carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction. Back-end efficient utilization involves simulating multi-fuel gas systems for solid oxide fuel cells. Using models, investigating the multi-fuel characteristics, flow field distribution, and non-destructive diagnostics. Focus on transient models by examining the impact of fuel gas cost fluctuations and switching on the thermal stability of systems and design targeted operational optimization strategies.

Furthermore, design renewable energy systems for different energy demand structures through the coordinated use of multiple systems. I expect to interact with climate and economic models to provide decision support for transforming energy-consuming enterprises.
